List of temperature records in Germany
This article lists temperature records in Germany . This means that temperature extremes in Germany are recorded. Here - for values after its establishment - only official values of the German Weather Service (DWD) are taken into account.

Meteorologically measured air temperatures .
Temperature ° C |
date | place | comment |
---|---|---|---|
42.6 ° C | July 25, 2019 | Lingen (Ems) , Lower Saxony | The heat waves in Europe in 2019 were the cause of the heat . The value was measured at 5:00 p.m. The correctness of the measurement was discussed due to the location of the weather station , but the day after the German Weather Service confirmed the record value. On the same day, the previous record from 2015 was exceeded at 13 other stations. |
40.5 ° C | July 24, 2019 | NATO airfield Geilenkirchen near Geilenkirchen , North Rhine-Westphalia | This value was also reached in the course of the heat waves in Europe in 2019. |
40.3 ° C | 5th July 2015 | Kitzingen , Bavaria | See also: Heat waves in Europe 2015 - First phase June / July ; this value was reached again on August 7, 2015. |
40.2 ° C | July 27, 1983 | Gärmersdorf , Bavaria |
In the summer of 2003 , which became known as the “ summer of the century”, new heat records were set in other European countries, but not in Germany; In Germany, several places reached the old high from 1983 with 40.2 degrees. |
39.6 ° C | 2nd July 1952 | Neustadt / Weinstrasse , Rhineland-Palatinate and Schallstadt-Mengen (Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald), Baden-Württemberg | Heat wave in Central Europe |
(39.8 ° C) | Aug 18, 1892 | Amberg , Bavaria | The value can be found for August 18, 1892 in the "German Meteorological Yearbook - Bavaria" for the "Amberg" station (station height 519 m). The "Amberg-Stadt" station, which is significantly lower at a height of 385 m, has a temperature maximum for August 1892 of 35.7 ° C in the yearbook. The record value of 39.8 ° C for the "Amberg" station is therefore implausible. Also neighboring stations such as Weiden (399 m; 18.8 .: 35.4 ° C), Regensburg (358.3 m; 17.8 .: 33.9 ° C; 18.8 .: 33.2 ° C), Bayreuth (359.2 ° C) m; 17.8 .: 36 ° C; 18.8 .: 33.2 ° C) and Nuremberg (314.9 m; 18.8 .: 37.2 ° C) reported lower monthly maximums. These measurements therefore confirm the plausibility of the information for the "Amberg-Stadt" station. |
